Re: 25NL TPGK multiway

If you call the flop you will be left with $15.20

If BB calls as well, the pot will be $37.45, are you really going to fold if BB shoves and you get 3.5-1 on your money?

I think the main reason...

Re: another yucky river call

Turn: I have been wondering if this would be a good spot to donk. We intend on calling a bet anyways, and that card can look pretty scary to our opponent. Without a read I usually take your line. ...

Re: Calldown against two

Preflop: I usually cap here. You have an equity edge and you would really like to push CO out of this big pot.

Flop: Raise. Your hand is likely best, but vulnerable. The pot is big.

Turn: ...

Re: river call with A high

I don't like the idea of limp-reraising A6s vs a showdown bound opponent who does not seem that aggressive preflop.

River call is probably ok. He has a wide range of unpaired hands (6x, 4x) that...

Re: K9s goes for the FS

I would just call the turn and intend on calling any blank river vs this guy. It's a very bad spot for a free showdown raise IMO.

Flop call is standard. I would usually intend to show this down...

Re: AA Tricky

Villain is reasonably good and will fold many weaker hands here if you bet anything reasonable.

I think checking this turn is standard vs a good player.

I would milk a bad player for more chips...

Flop

With already a caller and a raiser, I don't think raising to clear outs is worth it.

The pot is getting big, we have a weak oesd and a bdfd and an overcard that is worth very little. I think I...

Re: \"I\'ve got no bank roll\" play along.....

I usually fold A9o preflop from that position with a limper.

I would raise A9s. I can see myself rasing A9o if the players behind me are tight, and the limper is LP.

Re: 100NL 6Max Combo Draw

Let's see, he is getting 65 to (50.5+28+28+65), so 65-171.5, or 2.64-1. I guess he will fold a marginal hand since your line looks strong, and his bet was on the low side.

Moving in with the lead...

vs a CO open raise, A9o does not fear domination as much.

Adam,

Your question was intended at ILP, but I'll take a shot.

I think 97o might be -EV because our position is not that good since we are stuck in the middle. We would much rather be acting...

Re: I hate every option on every street

I am not sure about the flop. But your turn play is fine.

If you bet and he does not have a club or an A, it is hard for him to call. The turn is pretty much wa/wb.

You can't fold the river. ...

I think risking a free card to attempt a c/r is too aggressive here. I think this is a perfect spot to donk. He can call down with Ace high and you charge him to catch his card.

Re: Inducing a bluff with a good hand

A few things:

Would he CR the flop with a Q, or would he consider this worth a slowplay on this dry board?
Would he call with KJ,JT kind of hands on this turn?

These factors argue for betting....
